Where did the name "Religious Society of Friends" come from?

To his disciples, he (Jesus) said, "I no longer call you my servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I call you friends, for everything that I learned from my father I have made known to you." John 15:15

We (Quakers) have no truth to bring to others like a product to be sold. We are called to show that truth has us, and by example, demonstrate to everyone that they too can be found by God within. ~ Robert Griswold, 2000

Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and aplied, it is the most potent instrument of action. ~Gandhi

Inner freedom is not guided by our effort; it comes from seeing what is true. ~ Buddha
